Zongman: Dream with me

Chapter 129 The Deceived

Under the setting sun, Ritsu Tanaka was riding on the tram. He shook the ticket in his hand, turned around, and patted his dazed companion.

"Mio, what's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded since just now?"

"Ah, I'm fine," the black-haired girl shuddered in shock, then came to her senses. "I was just wondering if we've met Kasugano-senpai somewhere before. I have a feeling he seems to know us."

"So Mio feels the same way?"

"Ah, you too."

"Yeah." Tanaka Ritsu closed his eyes and pinched his chin in a thoughtful tone. "When we first met, he seemed quite indifferent, but then he suddenly became very enthusiastic and even invited us to join the club..."

Who would make such an invitation for the first time?

"But Lu seems to be very moved?"

"We can't refuse him right then and there, and Kasugano-senpai treated us to such a delicious cake."

"So he was bribed by the cake?"

"Mio!" Tanaka Ritsu was a little angry and stood up to pinch the girl's face, but unfortunately he pushed it down.

"Don't make trouble, it's dangerous."

"It's okay, but Mio, what are your plans?"

The girl with long black hair didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at the ticket in Lu's hand, watching it float in front of her eyes, sometimes close, sometimes far away, and then the ticket was taken away by someone.

"law!"

"Hahaha, just kidding."

……

Like the girls who were playing with each other, Yukinoshita and the others who stayed in the cake shop had the same doubts.

"Qiong, did you realize what you did just now..."

"Like Yuu?"

"..."

It seems you know it.

Qiong didn't care about the looks of the people around him. Although he was just in a spur of the moment, this feeling was really wonderful. It was like observing the familiar world from a different perspective and gaining a brand new experience.

"Then why did you invite them?"

Yukinoshita was very confused about Qiong's behavior. Could it be that she really didn't care at all? But judging from her daily behavior, she was clearly a jealous person...

"Yeah, why? I'm also looking for the reason."

"..."

Everyone looked at Qiong who began to speak incoherently, and a strong sense of déjà vu began to surge in their hearts. Not only her temperament and way of speaking, but now even her personality has begun to change?

Hiroi Kikuri's eyes flickered slightly. Was that guy's influence on Xiao Qiong already so great? Or was it because the two of them always appeared together and never separated, so Qiong wouldn't show it so obviously?

But once they are separated, Mu You's influence on Qiong's personality will begin to show. Her timid and cowardly character will be suppressed, and she will begin to unconsciously imitate the behavior and mannerisms of another person.

But what Hiroi Kikuri didn't know was that Mu You did more than just that.

He is like a painter, painting one beautiful picture after another for Qiong's originally dull life, including touching stories, pleasant music, and magical elemental forces... and hoping that she can draw strength from them and live a good life.

As for those other people you meet in life...

"Because You would do the same?" Mashiro's voice broke everyone's wild thoughts, and everyone realized that this was the girl who had been playing with her cell phone and not saying a word since just now.

"Mashiro-san, why do you say that?" Yukinoshita looked at Kyon and Mashiro looking at each other tacitly, and felt a little annoyed inexplicably in her heart.

Why do I feel like I'm being excluded?

"Because they have similar colors?" Shiina Mashiro replied.

"Color?" Goto Ichiri stared blankly, like a poor student who didn't understand anything but didn't dare to ask the teacher.

What are you talking about? It feels so complicated.

"Did you see it?"

"Ah."

"Ahhhh! Please stop telling riddles like that, okay? Can someone explain to me what's going on?"

Hiroi Kikuri, who was still hungover but was forbidden to drink by Qiong, felt that her brain was a mess, but she was forced to guess two people's riddles, which was too difficult.

"Okay, actually the thing is like this..."

Qiong stopped Hiroi Kikuri who had already started banging the table, and briefly explained to everyone what she and Mashiro saw from their perspectives.

……

"You're saying you saw something similar in them, and you think that guy would do the same thing if he were here?"

Yukinoshita summarized what the two people said, and the figures of the other two junior high school girls who were also enthusiastically invited by Mu You appeared in her mind, but she could not imagine the connection between these people.

Besides being very cute.

"That sounds amazing," Hiroi Kikuri said, a little skeptical. "Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

"This..." Kasugano Sora was speechless for a moment. What should she say? Could it be that she had already heard the rare music of their future performances?

"No," Shiina Mashiro answered firmly, "Because I've already asked Yuu."

"what!!!"

……

[Mashiro] Yuu, have you ever heard of the names Tanaka Ritsu and Akiyama Mio?

【Yu】! ! !

【You】I’ve heard it, I’ve heard it!!!

【Mashiro】I understand.

【Yu】......

【Yu】Mashiro, please!

【Mashiro】Yeah!

……

After this, Mashiro asked Mu You some more relevant details, and Mu You answered them one by one, including their general personality and appearance and the musical instruments they used. He even knew that Akiyama Mio was actually left-handed.

Everyone: "..."

Well, he wasn't there, but he knew more than them, just like they knew him... huh? Everyone thought about it and turned their attention to Qiong again.

“…This is my first time seeing you.”

This is true. It was the other party who came out to stop people first, so it doesn't look like it.

"But Mashiro, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Because Qiong is already doing it."

So you were just watching, right?

The corners of Qiong's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything else in the end.

"So, Xiaoyou actually knows him?"

Qiong looked at Goto Ichiri who was asking for confirmation, pondered for a long time, and nodded, "Maybe..."

"Is that so..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head, his mind reminiscing about the past: their childhood acquaintance, their online interactions after becoming a Guitar Hero, and their reunion on Fanxing...

It turns out they were all fake, it turns out they were all deliberately done by someone...

So, Yuu had actually been lying to her the whole time?

When realizing this, our little Pochi's eyes gradually lost their light.

When Yukinoshita Yukino saw Goto Ichiri suddenly depressed, she also realized: What if everything that happened was not a coincidence, but was intentional?

fool……

This is what Yukinoshita Yukino hates the most, and she has made up her mind that no matter what the reason, she will never compromise or forgive.

People's bottom line will always retreat with repeated compromises.

But why, why am I still sad? Yukinoshita Yukino covered her chest, her heart aching.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe things aren't like that. Maybe Xiaoyou has some unspoken difficulties..."

Hiroi Kikuri winked frantically at Kasugano Sora, hoping she would say something, but the latter just glanced at the heartbreaking scene before her with a faint look on her lips.

"There's nothing difficult about it."

"..."

The last ray of light in Goto Ichiri's eyes completely disappeared. Pochi-chan, the death sentence is pronounced.

"Pochi-chan, what's wrong with you? Pochi-chan!"

The scene was in chaos, but the instigator of all this watched it all calmly, even with a slight smile on his face.

It seems that the vaccination is effective...
